League Tennis
Wharfedale League
For the summer 2024 season we entered three teams in the Wharfedale League. The A team captained by Marco Frik played in the second division; the B team captained by Graeme Mutch played in the third division and the C Team captained by Jean Hall played in the fourth division. For the 2025 season we will enter two teams in the third and fourth divisions respectively. The former first team are looking at the possibility of playing summer tennis in the Morecambe and Lancaster League. For the Wharfedale League teams consist of three mixed pairs and matches usually involve each couple playing two sets against their equivalent pair and one set each against the other two. Matches are played mid-week evenings between late April and July. Click to view the current Wharfedale Tennis League Website
